Our Commercial or Business Purposes for Collecting Personal Data

We collect and use your Personal Data for various business purposes, including:

How We Disclose Your Personal Data

We disclose your Personal Data to the categories of service providers and other parties listed below. Depending on state laws that may be applicable to you, some of these disclosures may constitute a "sale" of your Personal Data.

Other Permitted Purposes for Processing Personal Data

In addition, we may disclose your Personal Data to third parties to meet legal requirements or enforce legal terms. This includes:

Business Transfers

All of your Personal Data that we collect may be transferred to a third party if we undergo a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction in which that third party assumes control of our business (in whole or in part).

Data that is Not Personal Data

We may create aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data from the Personal Data we collect, including by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to a particular user. We may use such aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data and disclose it to third parties for lawful business purposes, including to analyze, build, and improve the Services and promote our business, provided that we will not disclose such data in a manner that could identify you.

Tracking Tools, Advertising, and Opt-Out

The Services use cookies and similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, and JavaScript (collectively “Cookies”) to enable our servers to recognize your web browser, tell us how and when you visit and use our Services, analyze trends, learn about our user base, and operate and improve our Services. Cookies are small pieces of data—usually text files—placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or similar device when you use that device to access our Services. We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information received from third parties, including third parties that have placed their own Cookies on your device(s).

Please note that because of our use of Cookies, the Services do not support “Do Not Track” requests sent from a browser at this time.

We use the following types of Cookies:

You can decide whether or not to accept Cookies through your browser’s settings. Most browsers allow you to disable Cookies or decide on a case-by-case basis. However, disabling Cookies may affect the functionality of our Services.

Data Security

We seek to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational, and administrative security measures based on the type of Personal Data and how we are processing that data. You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism, limiting access to your computer or device and browser, and signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Although we work to protect the security of your account and other data that we hold in our records, please be aware that no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing data is completely secure.

Data Retention

We retain Personal Data about you for as long as necessary to provide you with our Services or to perform our business or commercial purposes for collecting your Personal Data. When establishing a retention period for specific categories of data, we consider who we collected the data from, our need for the Personal Data, why we collected the Personal Data, and the sensitivity of the Personal Data. In some cases, we retain Personal Data for longer if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule, or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.

For example:

Data Deletion

If you use our Services on Meta, you may request that we delete Personal Data we have collected about you by emailing us at privacy@blacksunproductions.com. We reserve the right to request that you provide sufficient data to enable us to identify the Personal Data we hold about you for purposes of deleting this data. We will comply with your request unless there is an applicable law or regulation that prevents us from doing so.

Personal Data of Children

In connection with providing our Services on Meta, we may receive Personal Data of children under the age of 13 (but no younger than 10 years of age) where their parents have authorized the creation of their accounts directly with Meta. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from a child under 13 unless that child’s Meta account has been authorized by child’s parent or guardian (“Parental Consent”). If you believe that a child under 13 years of age has provided us with Personal Data without Parental Consent, please contact us at privacy@blacksunproductions.com. We do not condition participation in our Services on disclosure of more Personal Data from a child under 13 years of age than is reasonably necessary for that participation, and we do not retain Personal Data from children under 13 years of age longer than is reasonably necessary in order to fulfill the purpose for which it was disclosed.

If you are a parent or guardian of a user of our Services who is under 13 years of age, you may contact us at any time to ask that (a) we stop collecting Personal Data from such user, (b) we delete any Personal Data already collected from such user (although note that we may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify such user personally), or (c) we stop disclosing Personal Data collected from such user to third parties, but continue to allow for collection and use of Personal Data collected from such user in connection with the Services.

State Law Privacy Rights

California Resident Rights: Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to contact us to prevent disclosure of Personal Data to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In order to submit such a request, please contact us at privacy@blacksunproductions.com.

Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Our Services do not support Do Not Track requests at this time. To find out more about “Do Not Track” you can visit www.allaboutdnt.com.

Nevada Resident Rights: If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain Personal Data to third parties. Please note that we do not currently sell your Personal Data as sales are defined in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A.
